Filtered Thoughts:First, sorry this was posted up about an hour past my normal “FPS Friday” time, I had issues with the Nintendo Channel not wanting to stream the trailer for the game correctly, so it took me longer than I thought it was to get it downloaded…then uploaded to YouTube.

I remember thinking it was crazy that Activision was getting Treyarch to port a 2 year old game to the Wii, and I really thought it wasn’t going to be received well. I still haven’t played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex, or any of the “Modern Warfare” games that were originally developed by Infinity Ward for that matter; but I was surprised to see how quickly the game-play data for Modern Warfare Reflex debuted, and then how it steadily increased on a weekly basis after its debut. If you haven’t seen anything on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex for the Wii, here’s a trailer that has nothing but Wii footage to show you what the game looks like as a port:

I think the game-play data reported clearly shows Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex has a very good fan-base on the Wii, and it’s still being played regularly. The increase of more than 2.5 million game-play hours since just September of last year, is more than most third party FPS games will ever see on the Wii. I also found it interesting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex has a list price on Amazon.com of $49.99, but is selling for $43.99; while Call of Duty: Black Ops which was just released in November 2010 also has a list price of $49.99, but is currently selling for $39.99.

Questions:If any of you own Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex, do you find yourself still playing it on a regular basis? Or, did you move on and purchase Black Ops when it was released in November?

Quick Brew Info: The last time I compared the game-play data for The Conduit(TCon), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex(CoD:MWR), and Red Steel 2(RS2) together, was on July 6. Let’s take a look at the games and see how much they have increased since the July 5 data was captured.

Approx. Number of Players Reporting Data:The Conduit has 78,549 players reporting their play-time data now.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex has 91,451 players reporting play-time data.Red Steel 2 now has 24,932 players reporting their play-time data for the game.

Player Increase Since Last Story:The Conduit has increased by 7,431 players reporting data, since the data from July 5.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex now has 20,853 more players reporting play-time data.Red Steel 2 has 9,108 more players reporting their play-time data, than it did on July 5.

Average & “Total” Game-Play Hours Increased/Reported:The Conduit’s average hours reported per person are now 22 Hours 57 Minutes. TCon’s current average game-play session, per player, is about 1 Hour 51 Minutes. The Conduit’s average hours per person, 22 Hours 57 Minutes, have increased by 26 Minutes since the July 5 data.The Conduit now has 1,802,113 Total Hours reported for game-play, an increase of 201,160 game-play hours since the July 5 Nintendo Channel data.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex’s average hours reported per person are now 57 Hours 22 Minutes; with the current average game-play session, per player, being about 2 Hours 21 Minutes. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex’s average hours per person, 57 Hours 22 Minutes, have increased by 7 Hours 3 Minutes since July 5.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex now has 5,245,775 Total Hours reported for game-play,an increase of 1,693,551 game-play hours since July 5.

Both The Conduit and Red Steel 2 are currently being advertised/sold from third-party vendors on Amazon.com, at the prices listed above.

Thoughts:Amazon.com has been out-of-stock of The Conduit, basically every day I have checked, since July. Red Steel 2 seems to be having issues with staying in-stock, directly from Amazon.com also. I don’t know if the issue is supply from Sega and Ubisoft for the games, or if demand has decreased enough for Amazon.com to request copies less frequently.Also, I think it is interesting this is the first time since I have compared these games directly, that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex has more players reporting play-time data, than The Conduit does.

Questions:Has anybody picked up Red Steel 2 since it received a price drop back in July? Also, if anybody owns any of these FPSes, have you found yourself playing any of them recently; or have you moved onto other Wii games right now?I still have not played either Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex or Red Steel 2, perhaps that will change in the next few months.

Quick Brew Info: The Call of Duty series, on the Wii, started with the Wii launch and Call of Duty 3. All of the Call of Duty games on the Wii have been developed by Treyarch, even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex; which was a port of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Do Wii owners enjoy the Call of Duty games? Let’s take a look!

Review Score Averages: The image above in the article shows the GameRankings.com review score averages for each game, and the number of “professional” reviews associated with each game.

Here is what each game looks like from Amazon.com customer reviews:

Click picture to enlarge for Amazon.com review scores breakdown

Call of Duty 3 has a 3.5 out of 5 Starrating, based on 71 customer reviews.

Call of Duty World at War has a 4 out of 5 Star rating, based on 90 customer reviews.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex has a 4.5 out of 5 Star rating, based on 63 customer reviews.

Thoughts:

I think it’s interesting that Call of Duty 3 has 60,224 more players reporting play-time data, than Call of Duty: World at War. I really thought Call of Duty: World at War would have more players reporting data, because of its online multi-player. I guess the two year head-start of Call of Duty 3 is the main reason it’s still leading.

On Friday, I posted the article, “What Is the Most Played FPS Game on the Wii?” I reported that Call of Duty: World at War is currently the most played FPS Wii game, according to “total game-play hours reported, not just the average hours per person/console.”

A reader, WesFX, asked in the comments section of the article, “So does the trophy for most hours played per individual go to a different game?”

While Call of Duty: World at War is the Wii’s most played FPS according to “Total” game-play hours reported; the trophy for most hours played per individual goes to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex. As the data picture shows and I stated above, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex has an average of 54 Hours 8 Minutes per player reporting data, about 3 hours higher than Call of Duty: World at War’s average.

I think the play-time data for the Call of Duty Wii games clearly shows Wii owners enjoy the online aspect of the games; especially when considering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex passed Call of Duty 3’s “total hours” reported, only a few months after it released this past November.

Questions:

Have you played any of the Call of Duty Wii games? If so, are your average hours per game close to what is being reported?

Thoughts:This is the first week that I have reported the play-time data on both of these games, that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex has more players reporting play-time data on the Wii’s Nintendo Channel, than The Conduit does.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex now has approximately 2,261 more players reporting data than The Conduit, and has 2,236,924 more game-play hours reported than The Conduit.

As for the Amazon.com sale rank of The Conduit being so low, the game is still currently only available from 3rd Party Vendors on Amazon.com, as I reported back on June 13.When I contacted Amazon.com about it today, they said to just keep checking the product’s page for any updates, but wouldn’t specify if they are still carrying the game itself.

Questions:If you own either Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex or The Conduit, are you looking forward to the “sequels” for both games releasing later this year?I don’t own Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex or The Conduit(anymore), but I am interested in both sequels.I am really interested in Call of Duty: Black Ops, because Treyarch seems to have done the online really well in the two past Call of Duty games on the Wii; while Conduit 2 looks like it should be an improvement over the first in most areas, though I’m approaching it more cautiously.

They will range from the 600s, into the 1000s as they were today.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex seems to still be selling well, and had the most game-play hours added and the largest increase in number of players reporting data, since May 17.

Amazon.com Sale Rank & Advertised Price:

The Conduit‘s Amazon.com sale rank is #1,407 and its current selling price is $27.99.

Thoughts:I have added Red Steel 2 to the list of FPS games that I will track. It is the only game, out of the three, that does not have any online play; but it is the only one, that is a direct sequel to another Wii game, the original Red Steel.

Speaking of direct sequels, Conduit 2 is due out later this year for the Wii.The guys over at HDWarriors.com scored an interview with Josh Olson, the Senior Producer on the game.They asked about the online multiplayer modes and the local multiplayer modes, in Conduit 2.If you would like to know what Josh Olson said, check out his answer at:http://hdwarriors.com/?p=913

I find it interesting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex still has fewer players reporting data, than The Conduit. I really thought that the Call of Duty name, would have helped it pass The Conduit’s number of players reported online already.

Questions:Have you been playing any of these games in the last four weeks?I don’t own any of them, so I haven’t played any of them in the last four weeks. Red Steel 2 is in my “want to play” list, as well as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
